Countdown To Halloween 2016 - 5 Days

The mani for today might just be one that I have had the most fun with in a long while. I absolutely loved making this one happen. So fun!

They are these bubbly-mutating-grossly awesome nails. I will include the photo that inspired me - I would direct link, but when I zoom in, it distorts the watermark - so if anyone knows who did this - please let me know!!

I used:

China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat

China Glaze Westside Warrior

Color Club Je Ne Sais Quois

Pearl Rhinestones

Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

So, paint your base, then attach any type of rhinestones you have on hand, then dab your polish over it. For a little extra definition, I applied a mustard polish, then tossed on some top coat - particularly over the stones.

I just realized I still have a couple post photos stocked up. Sigh. I haven't even uploaded all that is currently living on my camera. The fear is real.

That is for another day. Mayhaps this weekend.

Until then.

I think I said it at some point on my blog, but I feel like 2017 is going to be the year that I constantly do faux marble nails. Note: not watermarbling. I have given in to that failed activity far too many times.

No, I mean the classy kind of marble. You know.

This time, I did it in reverse, because, why not?

It counts, right?

Ugh. I love it.

All right, that is all for today. See you all again soon (I promise).

My sole mission was to make the wounds look as gnarly and gooey as possible (when I sent my sister some behind the scenes photos, she liked the original look.. but I literally told her I opted to make them 'gooier' - legit scientific term)

Anytime I can destroy my polished nails to make wounds is a great day to me!
